you couldnt use the same loom if you used the c16xe engine! | |

If the engines are of a similar year then you might be able to use the same loom and just swap the ecu. Physically the engines are the same, and use all the same sensors etc. | |

well nething is tunable just depends how deep ur wallet is, it takes less money to get the same amount of power out of a bigger engine! | |

No cos the 1.6 is a tunable engine and i feel that if vauxhall thought the corsa should of had a 2.0 wouldn't they ave dun it personally i feel a 1.6 is much more worthwhile for handlimg etc. so all the sensors and everything is the same den? | |

but answering ur question, yeh mounts r the same, and u can use the 1.4 16v loom if u want to yeh. | |

errm sorrry to say it buit if ur gonna upgrade from a 1.4 theres no poiunt in puttin a 1.6 in might aswell b a 2.0 for the time and effort spent. | |
